Music video

In the first scene Mutya Buena boils up enough courage to leave her superstar boyfriend. When the car stops at the lights, Buena gets out of the car and walks out, leaving her boyfriend yelling at her. In Keisha Buchanan's scene, you can see her at a "support group" in one of their classes. She confesses things, while the group nod in unison. She gets up and leaves. In Heidi Range's part she is a stripper and like Buena, acts up the courage and leaves her profession, saying she is "stronger". The video is interspersed with clips of all three sugababes at an open-air swimming pool, mixing with other people there. There are also underwater shots of three small girls, each one resembling one of the sugababes, learning to swim
